Gauntlet on the Gulf: Practically Positionless 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players who bridge the gap between size and skill stand out amongst their peers. Years ago, guys on the list would be described as tweeners; today, their versatility has a home on the floor. Below are four prospects that check a lot of boxes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AJ Hairston</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hairston's been listed anywhere between 6'3” to 6'5” but plays much bigger. He's physical, rebounds on both ends of the floor, and a strong slashing game from the elbows. He doesn't have the height that most three or fours have, but his strength and ability to operate in space makes him a mismatch for the position.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rocco Lamuno</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'4 guard showed an understanding of every position on the floor. Lamuno creates shots for himself, scored as a cutter, grabbed rebounds, and defended post players. He's an athletic multi-dimensional player who combines fundamentals with the tools it takes to succeed at the next level. The rising senior is fielding offers from Trevecca University, The University of Alabama in Huntsville, and Union University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyle Taylor</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1976162,"sizeSlug":"thumbnail","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-thumbnail"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/IMG_1850.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/IMG_1850.jpeg?w=150&amp;h=150&amp;crop=1" alt="Kyle Taylor | The Traveling Hoopers" class="wp-image-1976162" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor has the size, and skillet to slide up and printer positions. He's roughly 6'4 with passing and vision to make plays for others. The unsigned senior is constantly pushing downhill. He has the athleticism to guard each perimeter spot and is not afraid to use his length.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1976149,"sizeSlug":"thumbnail","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-thumbnail"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/IMG_1854.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/IMG_1854.jpeg?w=150&amp;h=150&amp;crop=1" alt="Palmer Walton | The Traveling Hoopers" class="wp-image-1976149" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Palmer Walton&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'5 wing is a playmaker that can hit shots. He's proving he can play off the ball as a spot-up shooter and on the ball as a big guard. Walton plays a smart game while sporting a translatable skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578259' first='Chris' last='Cornish']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cornish's athleticism and motor give him an offensive package that can be used in several different roles. You can put him in the pick and roll as a finisher, where his athletic traits help him play bigger than 6'4. He uses those same traits to be a force on the wing that can get to the rim with a head of steam. His quickness and second leap make him a factor on the boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
